Creative Freedom, Community, and Big Broadway Dreams with LaQuet Sharnell

Episode #160

Welcome back to The Creative Soulpreneur Podcast! In this episode, Nick Demos sits down with the inspiring LaQuet Sharnell for a heartfelt and energizing conversation about the winding, often unpredictable journey of the creative artist—and what it truly means to build a life rooted in authenticity, fearlessness, and community.

LaQuet shares their evolution from an introspective, joke-telling five-year-old to a Broadway performer and fearless educator, opening up about the pivotal moments, teachers, and experiences that have shaped her as an artist, a coach, and a human. Tune in as LaQuet and Nick delve into the importance of letting your work (and life) marinate, the value of embracing both the triumphs and struggles, and how powerful community can be both on and off the stage.

You’ll also hear LaQuet discuss how stepping away from home, confronting truths, and redefining success ultimately led them to create Fearless Young Artists Studios and write an upcoming book and plays. This episode is filled with wisdom, laughter, vulnerability, and the kind of soul-stirring real talk every creative entrepreneur needs to hear. So settle in for an episode as uplifting and genuine as it is practical and get ready to rediscover your own fearless creative journey!

Key Takeaways:

🔹 Time Matters: Growth as an artist or entrepreneur isn’t a race. LaQuet reminds us that letting our work, and ourselves, marinate over time leads to deeper understanding and more powerful results. There’s value in the slow build.

🔹 Community Is Everything: Whether it’s on Broadway or building Fearless Young Artist Studios, surrounding yourself with mentors, collaborators, and supporters is vital. LaQuet’s approach to leadership is rooted in the belief that no one achieves greatness alone.

🔹 Stand in Your Truth: The most resonant art and business emerges when we refuse to settle for the status quo. LaQuet’s journey illustrates how living authentically, even when it’s uncomfortable, inspires both personal fulfillment and meaningful impact.
